There will always be deficiencies, I think that's the point they're making. The US is weird about grading where anything less than an A is unacceptable.

I'm not really seeing it here but these threads tend to dive into people shitting on the US's infrastructure (which by most rankings is some of the best in the world) because an organization who's job it is to be critical about our infrastructure issues a report that's critical on our infrastructure.

That said this state's infrastructure does fucking blow. Like I grew up in Ohio and thought ours was bad but moving to PA was eye-opening. Thank god our state police are funded though, that's something no other state has figured out how to pay for without dipping into money that's supposed to go to road maintenance /s.
